Platform Support

ImageEntry is a .NET Standard 2.0 library.Its only dependency is the Xamarin.Forms

Setup / Usage

Install the package on all projects.

iOS, in AppDelegate on FinishedLaunching start control Xamarin.Forms.ImageEntry.ImageEntryRenderer.Init(); :

   public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication app, NSDictionary options)
   {
     global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init();

     Xamarin.Forms.ImageEntry.ImageEntryRenderer.Init();

     LoadApplication(new App());

     return base.FinishedLaunching(app, options);
   }

Android in MainActivity on OnCreate start control passing the context as parameter Xamarin.Forms.ImageEntry.ImageEntryRenderer.Init(this.BaseContext); :

    protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
    {
      TabLayoutResource = Resource.Layout.Tabbar;
      ToolbarResource = Resource.Layout.Toolbar;

      base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);

      Xamarin.Forms.ImageEntry.ImageEntryRenderer.Init(this.BaseContext);

      global::Xamarin.Forms.Forms.Init(this, savedInstanceState);
      LoadApplication(new App());
    }

in the Xaml file we must declare our control xmlns:ie="clr-namespace:Xamarin.Forms.ImageEntry;assembly=Xamarin.Forms.ImageEntry", for example .

Add the images in the project assets folders.

you can use the ImageAlignment tag to set whether the image will appear left or right.

  <ie:ImageEntry TextColor="Black" 
                        PlaceholderColor="Black" 
                        Image="user" 
                        Placeholder="User" 
                        ImageAlignment="Right"
                        HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
                
   <ie:ImageEntry TextColor="Black" 
                        PlaceholderColor="Black" 
                        Image="password" 
                        Placeholder="Password" 
                        HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
